  • the reason why the ear thinning in the negative electrode plate in the PSOC cycle is reduced by containing the above polymer compound in the negative electrode electrode material is as follows. First, when the negative electrode electrode material contains the above polymer compound, the polymer compound is present in the vicinity of lead, which is the negative electrode active material. As a result, in the PSOC cycle, the potential of the negative electrode plate shifts in a low direction. Since the potential of the selvage portion of the negative electrode plate also shifts in a low-key direction, the reduction reaction from lead sulfate to lead during charging tends to proceed. In addition to the effect of shielding Sn in the ears, lead sulfate is less likely to accumulate, so that it is possible to reduce ear thinning even though the Sn content in the surface layer is as low as less than 10% by mass.
  • the low Sn content in the surface layer suppresses the gas generation reaction involving Sn during overcharging.
  • the potential of the negative electrode plate shifts in a low direction, the hydrogen overvoltage becomes large, so that the generation of hydrogen gas in the negative electrode plate during overcharging is suppressed.

L'invention concerne une batterie de stockage au plomb-acide comportant au moins un élément qui comporte un groupe de plaques d'électrode et une solution électrolytique. Le groupe de plaques d'électrode comprend une plaque d'électrode positive, une plaque d'électrode négative, et le séparateur qui est intercalé entre la plaque d'électrode positive et la plaque d'électrode négative. La plaque d'électrode négative comporte un collecteur qui a une partie de cosse, et un matériau d'électrode négative. La partie de cosse comporte une couche de surface qui contient du Sn. La teneur en Sn dans la couche de surface est inférieure à 10 % en masse. Le matériau d'électrode négative contient un composé polymère qui a un pic dans la plage de 3,2 ppm à 3,8 ppm dans le décalage chimique dans le spectre 1H–NMR tel que déterminé avec l'utilisation de chloroforme deutéré qui sert de solvant.
